Really, I could read this one over and over and over again. It's hilarious, and the characters are amazing. The story is a fantastic read with a mix of light and heavy moments. And parts like Satou's back story which could have turned into melodramatic messes are handled with care.

While Yoshida and Satou do follow up to a certain extent the old stereotypical BL couple with the seme being amazing at everything and with the uke being completely weak, I think their personalities makes them stand out amidst other BL crap. I completely love how Yoshida isn't the usual whiny uke who can't deal with his very dominant seme, and Satou has a very dominant personality. Yoshida is adorable as other reviewers have stated, and while some may have trouble with Satou's sadism, I think that it's fairly toned down compared to other sadists in yaoi. I don't think Satou would ever hurt Yoshida in a horrible way or humiliate him. There's very little angst, as Yoshida accepts that he is in a relationship and doesn't sit around, cry, and push back Satou's advances like many of the irritating ukes in BL do. You can tell they're very much in love with each other. It's a heart-warming relationship to me.

The story itself is episodic, but within each episode you get character development and some lovely Yoshida x Satou (keep in mind this is shounen-ai so don't expect anything too explicit). Tanaka Suzuki is one of the few BL authors I've read who is amazing at comedy and is pretty good at drama. AnD is a very funny read, and can be touching at times.

Overall, one of the best shounen-ai I've read, with great characters, lovely relationships, and a very funny story. While I had read some shounen-ai before like Seven Days, this one was really the one that got me onto the BL boat. Also, see if you can listen to the drama cd's - they're really well done.

At last a different and unique Shounen-ai. Sure, it's in no way perfect and at times really cliche. But finally there's a Shounen-ai manga that doesn't have a beautiful uke. Seriously, for most of these types of stories the uke is so pretty that he looks like a girl!!!! That just completely ruins the purpose of "boy's" love now doesn't it?

Yoshida is one of the cutest uke of the world.

Waaaowaaaah O.O I totally love this manga... It completly break normal yaoi rules! And i love it! totally funny and original >w< And Satou is a sadist, it's crazy xD

And also, Yoshida is very mature compared to other uke. it is not the type to get sick with envy when Satou is not concerned with him. it's really refreshing.
Especially since there is quite the seme is immature.
it's just like a shojo, but with boys!

I'm glad the BexBoy magazine is published in France.because I'm going to buy the volumes and encourage the author! YEAAAAAY! >w<

Satou is just... intolerable. Sure, a sadist's joy must be to tease their love interest, but this is just unaccaptable! You gotta be gentle at times as well and respect your lover. If not, then it isn't a relationship anymore. Satou is plain selfish, and I don't think he should continue misbehaving simply because Yoshida accepts him the way he is.
True, Yoshida's reactions are adorable! But of you love a person, you gotta sacrifice some of your sick enjoyment for the sake of making them happy. I just wonder why everybody else in this manga is just horrible to Yoshida! He deserved all the happiness in this world.

I loved how Yoshida at one point questions why the hell he is dating Satou who is too selfish, a liar and is just too unlikable. This is something that had been on my mind as well.

It isn't as if Satou actually defends Yoshida either! He only acts possessive even when the rival treats Yoshida better, and then forgets that Yoshida gets mistreated by his fans . Moreover, he is rude to Yoshida's friends!

Regardless of all, I still love it and I enjoy the story. I don't normally mind this type of dynamic, but the characters aren't some flat 1-D ones that I couldn't help but get extremely attached to cutie Yoshida. In fact I only read it for him, and for the moments where Satou faces hardships or getd pwnd. He is just such a loser....

well, i don't think yoshida is ugly, but i can see how he might be bullied in a culture in which standing out makes one weird. normally i don't much care for stories where the seme bullies the uke and yet the uke falls in love anyway, nor do i care for those where the uke is unbelievably dense, and where he struggles against any intimacy -- but this one is different somehow. not much different, mind, but sufficiently so to make it stand out positively in a field that's filled with cliche and stupid storylines. for one, yoshida is really adorable; he might be dense but his heart is definitely in the right place. mostly i think it's got to be in the art -- some of the images of satou when he looks at yoshida are really touching. and in volume 4 we finally get a little meat with satou's backstory, and some honest thoughts from him (about how he feels empty), so i am hopeful that future chapters might rise even higher over the mediocrity of standard BL. not rating it yet since it's not complete.

Kawaiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii ne~~~~~~!!!!! (-* v *-)
Yoshida is definitely one of the cutest uke from all boy love manga. Haha, he's "My Most Favorite" too ( >___<~ ) <3 lol
The story is very cute, totally different from other manga since the protagonist(uke) is not good-looking, a not pretty one. But his personality counts all.
However, Yoshida is very pitiful since he's quite not good-looking but lives in a society that look matters a lot. I mean, i personally sympathize with him since i'm also Asian and I know that many Asian countries' society values good-looking people.

However, as i read through it, i find Yoshida wasn't that bad-looking. He's actually cute, especially with teary face *evil grin*
I find the seme sometimes too sadistic and too self-centered tho..

Oh well, but they are just very suitable for each other too since Yoshida is very mature and can accepts Satou's bully actions <3<
A very cute and refreshing manga. Totally recommended!!! ))

nowadays all you see is pretty boy on top of pretty boys, but this one actually twists it around a lot and puts in someone who's not very pretty.....but i find him absolutely adorable when he blushes xDDD;~ great story, fun to read, Tanaka-sensei's shonen-ai stories are always really well done =3

Charming, adorable, funny, cute... This manga is exactly what I look for in a shounen-ai. Yoshida is the cutest uke ever, and his blushes are adorable. I also loved Satou as the seme: he doesn't really take himself that seriously at points, which I thought was nice, and realistic. The art wasn't my favourite at the start, but I grew to love it: I think the mangaka is a bit of a genius at the portrayal of the relationship between the two and the thoughts and situations they go through.

I also loved the side characters (all of them). One of my favourite points was when it flashed back to Satou's past in the 'English school': I thought that was kinda cool, and gave depth and added perspective to his character The girls were also very funny.

Altogether a lovely shounen-ai, with comedy and a great couple that don't always take themselves that seriously. I don't recommend reading in one-sitting, as the story is very long with relatively little development, but it is definitely one of my favourites, and will be highlighted in such in my very long list of 'read' manga's.

Enjoy!
